UAAP cuts basketball game days to five matches for Round 2


The UAAP has released the second-round schedule for Season 87 basketball, introducing key changes to the three divisions currently playing.

In the first round, each game day featured two junior high school and two women’s basketball games, but the league has now trimmed this down, making it either four or five games played per day.

This adjustment allows for an earlier start time, particularly for the men’s games.

Starting in this round, men’s games will now tip off at 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM.

The second round begins on Saturday, October 12, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
